The Paddock

35 Macquarie Drive, Belmont nsw

Our Newcastle location The Paddock situated on an abundant and beautiful permaculture property, located on Awabakal Land.

At The Paddock our families get to immerse themselves in this space that feels far from the inner suburbs of Belmont. Surrounded by large gum trees, lush greenery and an incredible food forest. This magical food forest provides not only a hideaway to play and explore but it is a simple and subtle way for our children to begin to understand about the food they eat and where it comes from. It is a sensory delight for children of all ages as they experience the smells, tastes, colours and textures that the food forest provides. There are banana, pomegranate, mango and citrus trees, cucamelons, mulberry, sweet potatoes, many herbs and so much more being planted each season.

Meet the chickens and become familiar with the change of seasons before your eyes at The Paddock.
